Shark Tooth is a Bluetooth protocol analyzer for Linux: the Bluetooth counterpart to a wired packet sniffer. It uses the system BlueZ stack to:
Discover nearby Bluetooth / Bluetooth LE devices and watch their advertisement broadcasts in real time (name, address, RSSI, service UUIDs, manufacturer data, service data).
Monitor the local adapter's state and decode every observation into readable, drill-down fields — the way Wireshark decodes a wired capture.
Record a session and export it to a .pcap capture (opens in Wireshark as HCI LE Advertising Reports) or .jsonl for your own tooling.
It is built for debugging your own Bluetooth devices and for authorized security research. It observes broadcast advertising data and your own adapter's state through the standard BlueZ APIs; it does not and cannot decrypt or covertly intercept third parties' paired, encrypted links.
Confinement note: this snap requests only the Bluetooth interface it genuinely needs (bluez) plus the desktop runtime from the gnome extension. It deliberately avoids network, home, removable-media and similar plugs — captures are written to the snap's own data directory unless you connect extra interfaces yourself. If capture says no adapter was found, run once: sudo snap connect shark-tooth-team:bluez

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install Shark Tooth, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install shark-tooth-team
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
